Default Jul 23: Montreux GP: FXX, MC12, Enzo, 333SP, 599 and more

After a ton of events covered in 2005, this year is obviously lot less active because of work. Still, I'll try to cover the main ones, like this Montreux Grand Prix, taking place in Montreux, 20 min away from Lausanne were I am spending my WE.

I planned to go only tomorrow, Sunday, but in the end I went this afternoon for a quick 45 minutes orgasm and boys it was worth :shock:

To see a 333SP charging toward you at speed on what is normally open road is just crazy (my first 333SP BTW). Also saw finally my first Fiorano in the wild, damn sexy in black, and my first FXX! It took quite a while, and sadly it didn't move today.

A ton of 360CS or 430 as you can imagine, most red, so I didn't shot most of them. Also some crazy oldies like the 750 Monzas, the Lusso or the SWB and what about a white Daytona???? Some Enzos, F40 and F50 too of course!

Enjoy the 89 pics, and click any preview to find the full high-res update

Ridiculously nice 333SP 8)

The F50 is also another dream car.

Nice to spot an MC12 - i haven't seen one in the flesh yet, but i hope to soon

Loads of pictures for me to look at (and fast editing too, well done), but for now, it's time to go to bed

:shock: So many rare Ferraris. No wonder you didn't mind to be knackered after visiting this event.

My favourite pic is also the 360 CS on the grass near the lake.

Uhm... it's hard. Today I heard finally the FXX and it's nothing special. 360CS, Enzo or 430 are so boomy when the bypass valves open, but when you think about it, it's just loud, nothing else.

Freeded up 355 are still on top of their game in the V8 department IMO, and the best overall where the Formula 1 cars from the '50 and the 70.

I hope to have day 2 pics online asap

Somebody else asked the same, so I guess it could be

Can't remember a yellow one, but there were quite a few 430 Ch, so maybe yes... (I was there today too)
